About

For the past year, we have been working very hard on a playable demo to showcase our vision for Beyond-Human in a tangible way. We are excited to finally share this demo with everyone! Download it from one of the links below!

Beyond-Human is a metroidvania with fast-paced hack & slash action! It features accessible but deep combo-based combat, beautiful artwork, immersive environments and epic boss battles! In the game, you traverse Sci-fi and Cyberpunk landscapes while fighting a seemingly endless onslaught of robots, aliens, cyborgs, and giant monsters. Along the way, unlock an arsenal of weapons, upgrades, and abilities, both ranged and melee, to assist you on your journey through the Beyond-Human universe!

You are Adam, a silent protagonist. You’ve been awoken from a mysterious chamber, but what for? You are equipped with a rifle and exosuit, but you have no memories. You will travel a world that has been devastated by an alien force to discover your purpose and find out what happened to humanity.

• Metroidvania Style Progression

• Environmental Storytelling

• 6 Locations to Explore

• 6 Boss Battles

• 6 Unlockable Main Weapons

• 12+ Mini-Boss Battles

• 20+ Unlockable Weapon Mods

Epic, challenging, and badass! Boss fights will be the stars of Beyond-Human! If you manage to survive these adrenaline-pumping encounters, you will acquire their special weapons and use them to unlock new paths in the Beyond-Human world.

Fight this boss in our demo!

Overcome the Three Titans!

Some are secret, many are optional, all are badass! There are over twelve Mini Boss fights planned for Beyond-Human! Like their larger boss counterparts, Mini-Bosses will grant you some of their powers and special abilities in reward for finding and destroying them!

The Mini-Boss in this gif is featured in our demo! Try it out!

The game will launch with six unique extensive locations. Our goal is to make a fresh, vibrant, immersive world with lots to explore.

Main Weapons

The player will have a total of six main weapons, each obtained after defeating a boss.
Every main weapon has one basic combo, three directional moves, and one special move.

Mods

A MOD is a special kind of weapon or ability that consumes energy. Some MODS will deal damage while others will be used for more tactical purposes like stealth camouflage or shield barriers.

Enhancements

An enhancement is an item that gives Adam additional special abilities: more health, an increase in the enemy drop rate, bullet deflection, increased running speed, etc.

Beyond-Human's initial release will be available for Windows, Mac, PS4, and PS Vita. The PC release will be distributed on Steam as well as GOG.com. If you choose PS4 version, you will also get PS VITA version!

Risks and challenges

This is our second attempt at KickStarter. Our first Kickstarter with Beyond-Human failed. We did not give up! Instead, fueled by passion we kept working without a budget until we were satisfied with what we created.

In the last year, we made an extensive playable demo! Our efforts were rewarded with a clearer understanding of the challenges that come along with developing a game of this scope. We are taking this knowledge and experience to plan and structure a realistic timeline and an efficient workflow as we move forward in development. We are now more confident than ever that we can bring this project to completion! And hope to express our extreme gratitude for your support by delivering a beautiful, fun filled game that we can all enjoy!

Just to maintain absolute transparency, we have a financial backer interested in helping us with some production costs, but that is completely contingent upon a successful kickstarter! We need your help!
